I occasionally post timelapse videos of the forest garden showing different features. I've also been taking images of the garden as a whole. I have a cheap point and shoot camera just inside my upstairs window that takes a photo every 20 minutes. Occasionally it misses a day or two if the memory card fills up or the power goes off and I forget to reset it. But I've now got a good record of how the garden has developed since I started taking photos back in late 2011.

I spent some time recently taking out the photo for each day that was close to midday and turning them into a timelapse. You can see the results below. Be warned it flashes light and dark a little due to the change from sun to cloud.

The most obvious changes are seen in the summer when the garden is in full leaf, but you can also see the change in the size of the trees in the winter if you look carefully.

Going back to 2010 shows smaller trees and less at the lower levels in the garden.

I don't have such a good record before that, but a video of early 2010 shows how bare teh garden was.

Another way of seeing how the garden has developed is to look at the garden around midsummer and see the difference. The photos below show midsummer 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.
